Repairs

Photos of various previous faults, mostly due to liquid damage. Also my first attempt to repair the ribbon cable, once the flux was cleaned off it was not so ugly, I coated it with a small amount of liquid tape to make it a little more attractive and the glasses were working once more, and still are I believe.

Some photos of the Flash Ram IC where the tracks had completely corroded away, I managed to use a Dremel and cut back the plastic case to reveal the internal original track, added a small piece of wire, and they were back in business.

Ribbon edge connector cable, again sweat damage, I managed to rebuild the tracks, the ribbon cable did work once more.

Orokr Pro /Thump Pro with the two exposed test points on the ribbon cable, which are very common to be damaged

Common ribbon cable damage due to lack of care when working with it, the cable tears very easily and you have just turned your expensive Oakleys  into a standard pair of glasses at that point.

Small green marks around the connectors and on the control buttons is sweat corrosion, sometimes the glasses can still be saved, but not always!

Last thing, photos showing the speaker wires damaged due to the glasses being put together incorrectly, wires crushed between the casings, this will cause the wires to fail in the not to distant future.
